    I've only played to completion the Microprose one and Harlan's WW2Euro.

      The Third Reich by Mike Jeszenka

      Never really got into Second Front by Nemo. Does Red Front count, because that's perhaps my favourite ever scenario?

        I would dearly love to see a European Theatre based Scenario built on similar lines to Red Front.

          Harlan Thompson's WW2 scenario is the best IMO (though Marko's The Struggle For Europe comes a very close second)

            Mike Jezenka's "Final Days" based on the German offensive towards Stalingrad is little known (it's ToT), but an interesting operational type scenario.

              Red Front is my favorite (biased as I was a playtester) followed by all of the TOT ones such as Dictator, Final Days and more that I can't remember right now.
              TOT is great with more units and more events, its a shame more people don't play it. TSFE was also very good, but a massive scenario.

                Alex and Nemo's works are all great classics.
                Another gem is Mike Jezenka's 'Final Days.'
                I also favour Mr Harlan and Marko's superb works.
                I was also a big fan of Case's Cruel sea, I and II.

                I think it is brilliant that there are so many busy CIV2 mod-makers, keeping the legacy alive!

                    I'm not a fan of the WW2 genre, but I must say that "Up The Deadly Boot" by John Petroski is a scenario of excellent workmanship. Nemo's "Red Front" and "Second Front" scenarios deserve honourable mention because they're simply well made, but for me, they will never achieve that depth.
                    Follow the masses!

                      The WW2 scenario that comes with the civ2 game.(Microprose).

                      Simply put, it is the best.

                        I'm curious, why you think that?

                          I must say that Red Front is also my favourite WWII scenario. However lets not detract anything from things like Up the Deadly Boot. I bought MGE to play this scenario. Shame about the sound though, i.e there was none as far as I know.

                            Well for one thing it is extremely balanced. The war in Russia really is a war in Russia, not a 5 turn walk in the park.

                            And it is copletely playable by all, Axis, allies, Russians.

                            I find normal civ2 superbly balanced. The fighter planes that scramble have a 50-50 chance to shoot down bombers, the ships have an equal attack and defense and so on.

                            Excellent scenario.
